Frem the Report of the Warden of the
Ohio Penitentiary, just received, we take
the following from the Chaplain s Report,
which will form an interesting study to
many people. The total number, 31st
October 1886, was 1,439. In the statistical
report the number is given for the year
at S12. OF these 421 are natives of Ohio,
the remainder being accredited to other
States. and foreign countries. There
were 7S9 males, and % females. White
699 colored 113. All trades and profess
ions are represented, though some very
feebly. For instance there are only three
lawyers, and but two editors-from which
the public may be led to conclude that
there has been some laxity of justice
somewhere. There are but nine doggery-
keepers which shows that Justice has
been taking a nap somewhere. Of the
S12, the plea of guilty was entered by 423,
not guilty by $50. The greatest number
were sent for burglary and larceny. Of
the $50 who plead guilty, 1O1 claimed
they did so on account Of intoXication.
There are ten life cnnvicts, and three
twenty-year convicts. There are two in
on sixth conviction, three on fourth, six
teen on third, seyenty-one second, and 62O
on first.
Ont of the S12, but f0rty-nine are chill
dren of parents who were not Church
members. There are 252 married. 493
single, fifty-four widowers, five windows,
and eight divorced. There are 1877 pa
rents. Of those confined, 622 have at
tended Sunday School, and 100 have not
The habits are given as temperate, 217;
Incorporate, 500 Use tobacco, 679; do
notsuse it, 1873. A hasty glance at these
statistics show up both Religion and In
temperance in nearly as bad light as
the tobacco habit. 1t is fatal argument
against the theory that the parent is re-
sponsible for the character of the child.
The great majority of the people are
members of some Church organization
which accounts for the showing. These
convictS may have received the very best
of training, yet drifted away into a life of
sin and crime And in this connection,
we will say that as rule the term of
of Imprisonment does not reform the
criminal. Yet this is no argument against
the imprisonment. Inc criminal WOulu
be great deal worse perhaps without it.
The record shows that there have been
great many parents sorely grieved over
the failure of their prayerful efforts to
save their children, or there are great
many unworthy members of Church.
Let us all hope that the number in the
prison will decrease from year to year,
through the advancement of morals, and
the bettering of the whole social system.

Some Pinkerton detectives have
been on duty at the Railroad yards in
Jersey City for some days owing to a
strike being in progress there On
last Thursday, while the officers were
on duty, number of large boys
began pelting them with hard show
balls. 1t is said the boys were urged
on by body of strikers. Finally the
chief of the detectives ordered the
boys to stop throwing, but they kept
on, until one Of the officers was badly
hurt, when three Of them fired on the
crowd, killing boy named Thomas
Hogan. The fun ceased right there,
and the fellows who had been prompt
ing the boys took to their heels.

One Of the most horrible butcheries
yet recorded was that of the Cabalek
family, Of Cleveland, on last Thurs
day morning. An insane mother
butchered six children by stabbing
them repeatedly with a pair of sharp
pointed shears, then went into the
basement Of the building and hanged
herself. The slain children were all
piled under bed in the bedroom,
except the three months baby, which
was killed in its crib. The details are
of sickening horror.

Some of the newspapers are crying for
the Legislature to "do something and

that body is idle it is doing nothing OBJ
iectionable. Just let it rest.

planting because of even repeated sue
cessi7e failures. The writer spent seven
teen of the best years OF his life on his
farm, and during that time, in the ag-
gregate, his sales of surplus pork and
bacon were greater than the amounts
bought. The Sonth raised her bacon
during the war, and she can and ought
to do it now. Not every farmer, per-
haps, is favorably situated for raising
hogs; but there are others whose sur
plus should supply such as fail. This IS
fully as good section for hog-raislng as
for corn-growlng. If We persist in the
one, why not in the other? We can
largely substitute oats and other grain;
we accept no substitute for bacon and
lard-the greater reason why we should
produce our own bacon which has been
done very successfully by many progress
sive Southern farmers.

4 Dwarf Pt Oplc in Europe.

Professor Marapta has made remark
able anthropological discovery in the
valley of Ribas, in the Eastern Pyrenees.
In that district he found numerous
groups of persons who are named by the
other inhabitants ':Nanos" (the dwarfs),
and who never attained to a greater tall
ness than four feet. They are well built
in body, have exceedingly small hands
and feet, and are broad in the hips and
shoulders. All have red hair. Their
cheek-bones are prominent; their chins
are square and large. The eyes have
the slant tendency Of the Chinese. The
men are bea.dlesS, or they have at the
most only few soft hairs or the chin.
The face is full, and skin pale AID loose.
It looks as ii It Lad no muscles beneath
il. The men and women arc 50 like
each other that their dress betrays their
sex. Many OF them have swollen necks,
goitre-l,ke, but this is possibly to be
attributed to the water. The Nanos are
constantly objects Of the taant and ridi-
cu!c o. TIE other inhabitants OF the val
ley. They Eve as separate people,
marrying ocly amongst themselves, so
that the race is preserved unique. Their
intelligence is very low. They have no
schooling, no means Of bettering their
existence, no one cumbers himself about
them, and they lead a miserable exist
ence. "lALany of those whom [ ques-
toned" says Professor Marapta, ''could
not even tell me where they lived. They
had no conception OF arithmetic. They
were amiablc in their manners, and
seemed quite willing to learn some,
thing.

81 WANT 1HAT MAN"
Reasons for Thinking Albert SSdney oiin
ston Was Killed bya Private.

Chicago Inter-Ocean: AS genera
rule the most impartial personality that
l ever got acquainted with is a bullet il
battle. It is perfectly democratic and fair,
recognizing neither rank, station, age
nor quality. There are some exceptions
to this rule, as, for instance, when q
bullet is directly aimed at some con.
spicuous officer and fetches him. think
it was special bullet that killed Albert
Sydney Johnston, and the reason why
think so is this:
In the Shiloh fight Pugh's brigade, to
which I belonged, was strung along the
rail fence, having the cotton field and
peach orchard between it and the Con-
federate line. Across this field and
orchard the enemy made three or four
magnificent charges, and was terribly
repulsed each time. Captain Johnston,
the son Of the General, frankly acknowl-
edges those defeats in his account of the
battle contained in the biography OF his
father. The repulses caused much de-
moralization in the ranks of the Confed-
crates, but after awhile we could see that
their line was re-established IN great
shape. Then we saw the General riding
down the front while the men cheered
him with q great deal Of enthusiasm.
We all supposed that General Beaure-
gard was in command of the enemy, for
General Johnston's name was not ia
miiiar to us and Beauregard's was. As
he passed along the line our boys said to
each other:
'sThat's Beauregard! That's Beaurc-
gardr'
Just at that moment a tail, gaunt fei-
low in state of intense nervous excite
ment, and carrying his gun at the
s'trail, tried to break through the line
where was, with the intention Of climb
ing over the fence toward the enemy. |
challenged him sharply:
"Ivhat do you want here? What regi-
ment do you belong to?'
''Fiftcenth Illinois,
''Go back to your regiment; you Lave
no business here. Go back!''
ssOh d2n't stop me-" be said. "Let
me go, want that man on that horse. "
Before l could prevent him he had
broken through and scaled the fence.
watched him zigzagging along from tree
to tree until he reached the log house
above the centre of the field. This
brought him very near the enemy, and
if he took rest for his gun on the win
dow sill the man on horseback would
certainly be in peril. I never saw that
soldier again, but for twenty-five years I
have held firmly to the opinion that he
shot 'stLat man on the horse"
It is evident from the accounts that
General Johnston was wounded several
minutes before he fell, but did cot think
the matter serious, even if he knew it at
all. He had been slowly bleeding to
death for some time, and when at last he
tainted it was too late to save him.

THE eIILE-A-auNUTE MYTH.
Fast Time Made by Railway Trains II
America and England.
New York Mail and Expres

(New York Mail and Express.)
SIT is interesting to study railroad
statistics" said a railroad director to a
Mail and Express reporter. He con-
tinued in the same strain, "There are
1000 miles OF railroad in the United
States. In 1855 the railways of the
United States carried 81, 1856, 64l pas
sengers and 400, 453, 439 tons Of freight.
Each person was transported an average
distance of % miles; hence the entire
movement On all the roads WIS equal to
carrying S,5i1, ,309, ,614 persons one nile.
Massachusetts, takes the lead in passcn-
ger tran portion, with SO, 500, ,SS7; Penn
sylvania next, then New York, Illinois,
New jersey and Ohio. In freight tom
mage Pennsylvania takes the lead with
lO5, 507, ,9l6 tons, and New York second.
There are about 25 miles OF double track,
sidings, etc., 19 locomotives, Cpl freight
cars, 5 baggage and mail ;,ilt' 13 passen-
ger cars for every 100, 900 miles of rail
road in the United States.
ssSpeed is hard to average. The SO
and Is miles an hour train is generally
myth. An average of Is $40 miles per
hour is the fastest time in the United
States. This is made on the Pennsyl
vania limited in its run from jersey
City to Philadelphia, 80 miles, in less
than two hours. The Flying Dutch
man train is supposed to make the
fastest time in the world, between Lon
don and Bristol, lis! miles, in less than
two hours. The average, though, even
of this fast train is only 50! miles per
hour. There are several other trains
noted for remarkably fast time on short
distances. Sometimes a straight and
even grade for distance of 20 miles will
permit train to run at the rate Of more
than mile minute. One train on the
Canadian Pacific road, from Cotaneau to
Ottawa, averages so miles an hour for a
distance of rs miles. On the Central
road the late Mr.. Vanderbilt travelled at
the rate of 80 miles an hour. An avel
age Of So! miles an hour is considered
fast travelling. Many ST the limited,
expresses do not go at a faster
rate. The value of railroads in the
United States exceeds eight billions OF
dollars"
